I believe the meaning is that RISC-V is trying to take market share from Raspberry Pi and Legacy Chips. It's a rarely used meaning for the word "guns" which is probably why it's confusing. A better title might be "RISC-V Seeks to Challenge Raspberry Pi and Legacy Chips".

It’s a quite commonly used meaning of “guns” though, at least in American English.

It's more commonly used in the form of 'gunning for' than 'guns', but yeah - it's not uncommon.
